The National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition Advisory Board

As part of our mission to improve student learning and transitions, the National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition (NRC) created an advisory board to bring together a global community of scholars who are dedicated to promoting student success, learning, and development. Board members serve in a consultative role for the Center giving advice and contributing suggestions for publications, marketing and funding strategies, research topics, and conference speakers, as well as authoring articles for NRC publications and evaluating nominees and grant proposals for the Outstanding First-Year Student Advocate Award and Paul P.

The contributions of these individuals have been and continue to be vital to the Center’s work in improving the lives of students. Our board members include
